You might like this one too, it's not a kit, but it has screens, working controls and actually flies a flight sim: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U4IcQqNlgUQ.html
Even if you haven't seen the anime, you have to be impressed by the fact that the cockpit stick and throttle move the fighter's control surfaces (ailerons, etc.) in an accurate manner!
Why though? The thing might as well be and RC model and actually fly.. or at least transform. I'm sorry but this seems just like a fancy kid's toy for adults, that one would get bored with pretty quickly.
It looks like they do move a bit, just not enough to stay pointing directly forward. My main issue is that the elevators move in the wrong direction for up and down on the stick. Otherwise a fantastic model.
I don't speak the native language here, but some of the comments are telling me that this person modified some kind of toy to make it what it is. If that's true, it 's very impressive. Well done!
@@KRDecade2009 He made the remote control himself though ! The description reads: "I replaced the electrical system of Hachette's VF-1 Valkyrie and made a cockpit type remote control...."
At first I thought this was a commercial product that was way over engineered and detailed for what it was but yet I need to buy it immediately. Knowing now that it's a mod build, it makes more sense that it's not something you can buy but it now makes me want one more. Great work.
So did he build this from a basic polystyrene model? Did he build the hardware and software system from scratch components? If yes to the above questions, then this thing should be made into a commercial kit. I would have done it with 1/32 F -14 Tomcat, Eurofighter Typhoon, F/A-18F, F-22 or F-35 But then again I am not a gamer or fantasy guy. Probably the fantasy fighters would be a bigger seller in the Japanese market. For the realist folks, the F-22 in the U. S. market, the Eurofighter in the Greater E.U. and lest I forget, the MIG-29M OVT for the Eastern European Market. Of course, all these aircraft would crossover to all markets. The DCS pilots and fans would gobble up these kits or completed systems. With the cost of producing micro-components and microelectronic systems relatively low and the cheap slave labor costs in sweat shop factories in China, Vietnam and India, there is no reason these systems could not be brought to market at an attractive price.
I am in awe of the detail … the MFD detail, the weapons load out … it’s absolutely amazing the amount of work and knowledge that went into making this… a masterpiece.
I am in utter awe of the amount of accuracy and detail put into this. Having worked on aircraft in my early 20's, I am familiar with the work done not only for the exterior surfaces but also for the cockpit as well. The person that did this is truly an artisan and craftsman worthy of the highest praise.
As a lifelong model builder, I have to say this is possibly the most ambitious project ive ever seen, executed this well. Sure, we all have had our "blue sky, Im gunna build X" one day..but this guy did it. Im going to vote for this as the most impressive Ive ever seen. KUDOs fellow builder...lets see you do one in battroid mode now!!
@@6jirosdc ok I'm from the United States sorry!! We're only taught English it's why we lack in alit of places educationally!! But besides that DUDE!!!!! THATS SOOO BAD ASS... ITS CONCOURSE!! YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY PATENT THE RIGHTS AND MANUFACTURE MORE OF THOSE ITS GOTTA BE WORTH AT LEAST $149.00 USD

One day ago I started building a Falke Bomber Cat model. I realized that I could add some lights and maybe a motorized parts to the model seeing its size. So, I started basic research on how to make a basic LED circuitry since I never dabbled in it.. And today...RU-vid suggested this video to me. Just from the google search about resistors, levitrons and some drawing I made in a Samsung tablet. The strangest thing was....I haven't thought of Macross in quite a while. I did think about Mospeada, which was part of the Robotech series, while on long drive. A few minutes later...this Macross video appeared on my RU-vid recommendation when I stopped at rest stop.
@@CollectorChronicles Happened quite some what regularly for me. Several years back I decided to kit bash some models instead of making them straight out of the box like a jet-powered P-51 Mustang. I did some planning on pen and paper but then a Facebook group just so happened to share pictures of an actual experimental jet-powered Mustang. I kit bashed an A-10 into a version if it were to be used in World War 2(I put the jet engines on the wings) and Google showed me a random picture of a German twin-engined heavy fighter that I've never seen before that looked almost identical. Let's not get me started with Facebook and RU-vid ads that appear minutes after I simply LOOKED at the actual items while at the shops.
@@dgray6576 I know about Big Brother's eyes and ears. I just don't know about his telepathic ability. I mean I was just standing in a queue and LOOKING at the chocolate at the counter. Phone in my pocket and being quiet on my own and yet I was shown an ad about the same chocolate in my page. A transformable Valkyrie was also one of my planned model but I keep getting distracted with other stuff.
My first model kit as a kid was a Valkyrie that was fully transformable, had a system of rubber washers on all the joints so they'd stay put when posed, and metal spring-loaded landing gear. It was both incredibly complex, yet easy enough for this first time builder to assemble without any problems. However I knew nothing about painting models yet, so it ended up looking pretty ugly. But functionally it was amazing! In fact, I'm pretty sure they used the molds later for the Transformers toy version based on taking one of those apart once.
Like Roy Fokker said “This Robo technology just gets under your skin” Absolutely love this, it is the GOAT mod ever made in my book to existing collectible 👌🏻
You’ve definitely brought great craftsmanship to this fine built homage to nostalgia. This is the type of product design and implementation that people want to own. 😎
As an old fan, i can't afford to have this but seeing this really make me happy, its like seeing your childhood dream made into reality (albeit of smaller scale) Thank you very much for sharing
Awesome 😲👍 I'm speechless 😶 Is that possible to mount all the stuff onto a RC plane? I really would like to see how it would look like flying this setup in the evening 🤩
The Japanese are amazing inventors, I always loved the Macross resin garage kits. This plastic/metal valkyrie is also amazing, although I tend to stick with 1/100 and 1/72 scale. Is the control set something he made on his own to interface with the VF-1, or it also arrives in sets that has to be assembled?
Awesome work. This was a big surprise! I wasn't expecting you to link the cockpit controls with the valk. I don't know how you took over all the remote control functions. Nice programming.
Amici Giapponesi,volevo dirvi che in Italia apprezziamo moltissimo i vostri prodotti questo in particolare è stupendo.Attualmente in Italia è arrivato Mazinga Z edito da Hachette meraviglioso ma questo è ancora più incredibile spero arrivi nel nostro paese.Grazie amici nipponici
Simply AMAZING! You are one super skilled individual. I am in awe at the build and in love with the model and cockpit. Simply amazing! This is a Robotech fans wet dream!!!
Amazing model. Wow. Super impressive. I want it. Your attention to detail and commitment to the original story. Respect. 多くの尊敬。ありがとうございました. Hope it translated well.
Отличный был мультсериал ROBOTECH (гипер пространственная крепость МАКРОС). Геральдику эскадрильи "Черепов" срисовали с реальносуществовавшей эскадрильи авиации флота США VF-84 "Jolly Rogers", а геральдику "красной" эскадрильи - с эскадрильи VF-1 "Volfpack". Сами же самолёты рисовались под влиянием Grumman F-14 Tomcat.
In case anyone else is wondering before watching the entire video...it DOES NOT FLY. However, it is definitely the most impressive aircraft model I’ve be ever seen 🤷🏻♂️
